Abstract:		 A group of burnt mounds vulnerable to coastal erosion was surveyed in Spring 1996. Rescue excavation conducted at one of these sites, Tangwick, uncovered a burnt mound in close association with a specialised, non-domestic, structure of BA date. It is concluded that Tangwick represents a distinct site-type, previously little recognised, and it is proposed that such sites may have been used for feasting, possibly on a seasonal basis. More broadly, the results of survey work indicate that burnt mounds in Shetland are not a homogenous class of site and this variety has not been adequately accounted for within the prevailing models.
